I had the same thing. Insulation of hoses, baffle on the front near the fuel pump, and overall baffle conditions all effect the vapor lock issue.

Cessna wants my children!!!!

I'm in shock, so forgive me if I sound erratic. Ever pull the little wire mesh filter for your hydraulic system? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they need to be cleaned every 100 hrs. Well, I...

Weak induction link.

It's been a little over a year now. I've tore down my Skymaster to the metal. Replaced all wiring and 80% of all hard lines, softlines. I feel I know the 67 models pretty good by now, but I am by...

Comes out of a Seneca. TSIO-360 E. Too bad we can't put these small turbos on a skymaster. It's weighs in at 8lbs vs 42lbs.

Odd turbo

I just bought a TSIO-360 as a spare. Showed up today with a small rayjay turbo connected to it. Ever heard of a rayjay on one of these engines?

Upgrade with Glideslope?

I have two kx155's in my plane. One with GS and one without. Can I add that GS board into the one without, or do I have to buy another 155 with GS?

I've had engine shops tell me they can convert any IO-360XX to an IO-360A. Maybe that isn't the case, but most engine shops agree with that statement. 20" is ALOT. I highly doubt that. There is...
